THREE DAILY TO CAROLINA: SKIN-MEMORY SCRIPTURES OF A BLACK RESEARCHER ARTIST
F(r)ctional performative academic writing; Writing/living; Black Feminisms; Skin-Memory Experience.
Starting from the practice of writing/living (EVARISTO, 2006), in conjunction with the proposal of an performative academic writing, a f(r)ictional writing (LYRA, 2020), this first-person dissertation seeks to arrange an encounter between me and the Brazilian writer Carolina Maria de Jesus (2014) for a conversation about our diaries written at different times, in order to foster a dramaturgical construction, that have as themes: childhood and non-representation in the media, adolescence and loneliness of the black female artist nowadays. Carolina and I, black women living such similar realities, engage in a dialogue between times where situations of racism, misogyny, objectification of the black female body, class struggle inside and outside the real and fictional scene are exposed, based on reflection, introductory studies of black feminisms (RIBEIRO, 2018), (HOOKS, 2019), defending the idea of a skin-memory experience.
